Don was my stepfather for many years. Him and my mother was never married but I always considered him family. He was good to us, always willing to help, and there when we needed him. He was a one of a kind, and that was a good kind. Fly High Don,,,Love you and will miss you for sure. I have added some pics to share with the family,,,

Debbie and Becky: I haven’t seen either of you for fifty years. When I saw the passing of your Father it brought back memories of our youth. I know when my Father died it was one of the most difficult days of my life. I just wanted you to know both of you are in my thoughts. Blessings on you homes and family. Stay strong.
